mcgovern: mr. speaker, i spoke yesterday about the big picture numbers behind this cruel bill, how it would cut the snap benefits that families rely on to buy groceries by over $20 billion that includes slashing benefits like veterans and homeless and teenagers aging out of foster care by $9.2 billion. there is a provision that would rip benefits away from working families with kids by eliminating an important state flexibility option. the bill even included a provision that would have constructed barriers to accessing snap for those with disabilities, who have out of pocket utility costs. that is until democrats shamed the majority into abandonning it as part of their manager's amendment unveiled last night. this fix didn't come without a cost. tucked in the manager's package which was written in secret is a provision that will kick over 600,000 vulnerable adults off of snap in the first two years after enactment of this bill, two years before their misguided work bureaucracy goes into effect. 600
